Leola and Ozzie vs. The World

My mom kinda had a annoying laugh. At first it funny but once you hear it too many times, it get irrational. First, it's like "Sha,sha,sha huk, huk, snort, oweee, then she'll burst out coughing. Dad says it's one of the reasons he loves her though.

I really didn't get to see my dad much. No baby mama drama or anything, it's just that he's in the hospital a lot. My dad is a construction worker and screws up a lot and hurts himself. This time, he accidentally shot himself with a nail gun in the stomach. He'll be home tomorrow tho. My dad recovers from anything.

"Hee, hee, hee, ha!" Mom laughed. It was so loud my eardrums popped. (Exaggerating).

My mother was laughing at whatever lame joke my uncle said. They're really close even tho he's dad's brother.

My mother was a beautiful curvy woman. With her almond brown eyes and long thick hair, she had a beautiful smile, and just the most friendly person someone would probably ever meet.

Sometimes I wonder if I ever came out of her because we were nothing alike. I was skinny and had a body of a boy. My hair was short, uneven and really nappy. I often wore it like that, all I had to do was curl it. Since I was a tomboy, I never really cared what I looked like. That's pretty much the whole reason why I'm bullied in school. But who cares about that crap, this was my last year at Tison High and I'm bouncing.

"Can you guys keep it down?"I asked hinting that I was irritated. Mom and Uncle looked at me. Uncle threw 30 dollars at me.

"Go make yourself useful and get some food I'm starving". He retorted before turning back to mom. I squinted my eyes at Uncle's large gut.

"Talkin bout you hungry". I coldly murmured. I didn't want to get off my lazy butt and walk all the way to the store but I couldn't protest. Mom would yell at me. Ever since dad's been in the hospital, mom's been taking uncle's side for anything. It was like everything Uncle said was right and everything else was stupid.

I got out my seat and left the house. Our house was small along with most of the houses in my very littered, busted up neighborhood. Three bedrooms, one bathroom and the kitchen was the smallest.

I walked on the sidewalk of Kane ST. The supermarket wasn't far. Nothing was far. I lived in a small town where everyone knew each other, a type of town that not on every map, a type of town I hated.

I hated the fact that everything is so small. Nothing gets by in this town, if there's a rumor, too late the whole town knows. If you are bored, too bad nothing goes on. If you want to make something of yourself, too bad there is no one from this town who has graduated high school. Yeah, some people graduated, but they didn't go or do anything. This town is a pond for sitting ducks.

I arrived at the market. It was pretty much your average store. I approached the automatic doors.

With a smile on my face, I waved my hand as the doors opened making me feel like I had the force.

I heard snickering to my far right. I looked to the corner of my eye and saw familiar faces from school.

Tyler, Fiona, Tyreese, and Rick, all other seniors that go to my school. They're hobbies include making people miserable, spreading rumors, and they're favourite, making my life hell!

Well, not Tyreese. Ever since Sophomore year when I let him cheat off my test, he's been good to me. He wouldn't make fun of me when his friends would and when I was alone we have small talk but that was it.

"Chill Dark Vador!" Tyler called. The group busted out laughing, everyone but Tyreese. I put on my headphones and listened to music trying to block out their insults.
